    Choices That Define Our Life

    Your life is the sum of your choices. Not one decision.Not one moment.But the daily choices that quietly shape who you become. On this episode of Like It Matters Radio, Mr. Black reveals the five choices that ultimately define every life. They may seem ordinary, but together they determine your direction, your influence, and your legacy.   The five choices are: How you spend your timeThe attitude you chooseWhat you focus onThe story you tell yourselfWhat you believe about God, yourself, and your purpose Drawing from neuroscience, psychology, Scripture, and leadership principles, Mr. Black explains why our minds are constantly filtering information through deletion, distortion, and generalization—and why the stories we repeat to ourselves eventually become the lives we live. This episode also explores: How your Reticular Activating System (RAS) shapes what you notice and pursueWhy beliefs at the identity level create lasting transformationThe Sovereignty Triangle found in Jeremiah 29:11, Romans 8:28, and Ephesians 2:10The difference between living for Survival, Success, or Significance Because success isn’t the highest goal. Significance is. It’s not about what you accumulate. It’s about who you build. It’s not about making a name for yourself. It’s about making a difference in the lives of others. This is an Hour of Power designed to help you examine the choices you’re making today—because today’s choices become tomorrow’s character, and tomorrow’s character becomes your legacy. The time is now. Choose wisely. Inspiration. Education. Application.  When you live your life like it matters… it does. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    250 Years - Freedom to BE

    As America celebrates 250 years of independence, one question rises above all the celebrations: What were we set free to become? On this episode of Like It Matters Radio, Mr. Black reflects on the meaning of freedom, responsibility, and courage in a nation founded on the ideals of liberty. Freedom was never meant to be the absence of restraint—it was meant to be the opportunity to build strong families, raise responsible children, live with purpose, and honor God. This episode explores the growing challenges facing our nation: The decline of the family Rising loneliness, anxiety, and suicide Young adults delaying responsibility and purpose The growing disconnect from faith among younger generations Through the Law of Causality, Mr. Black reminds listeners that nothing happens by accident. Every effect has a cause, and every choice produces consequences. If we want a different future, we must be willing to examine the decisions and beliefs shaping our present. Joining the program are Joe Soltis and his son Jake, who share how they are investing in the next generation, encouraging young people to live boldly for Christ and helping reverse the trend of spiritual decline. The episode also looks at historical lessons, including the often-cited cycle of republics throughout history, and asks whether America has the courage to reclaim the values that made it strong. Because freedom without responsibility eventually becomes chaos. It takes courage to lead a family.It takes courage to keep your commitments.It takes courage to stand for truth.And it takes courage to use your freedom well. This is an Hour of Power about leadership, faith, family, and the responsibility that comes with liberty. Because the land of the free has always depended on the home of the brave. Inspiration.

    Its Okay to Slow Things Down

    n a world that never stops moving, maybe the most productive thing you can do… is slow down. On this episode of Like It Matters Radio, Mr. Black explores why clarity is becoming one of the rarest leadership skills in our information-saturated culture. Every day, our brains are bombarded with the equivalent of 34 gigabytes of information, forcing us to filter, interpret, and respond faster than ever before.  But what if moving faster isn’t the answer? This episode examines how our minds process information through three powerful filters: Deletion – We leave important things out. Distortion – We reshape reality through our beliefs and emotions. Generalization – We turn isolated experiences into lifelong assumptions. These filters help us survive, but they can also cause us to misunderstand ourselves, others, and even God. Mr. Black also unpacks: The role of the Reticular Activating System (RAS) and how it determines what captures your attention Why most of our daily decisions happen unconsciously How culture, media, and repeated messages shape our thinking Why awareness is the first step toward transformation Joining the program is John CEniglia, President of SAT-7, sharing how Christian media is helping people in the Middle East see beyond stereotypes and discover truth through authentic conversations. The message is simple but powerful: Slow down. Think. Become aware. Because you can’t change what you don’t recognize. Leadership begins the moment you stop reacting automatically and start thinking intentionally. This is an Hour of Power about awareness, wisdom, emotional intelligence, and learning to see clearly in a world that profits from distraction. Inspiration. Education. Application.

    Being Human 101

    What does it mean to be human? In a world flooded with information, competing narratives, emotional reactions, and constant division, that question may be more important than ever. On this episode of Like It Matters Radio, Mr. Black takes listeners back to the fundamentals of human behavior, leadership, and relationships. Because before we can lead others, we need to understand ourselves. This episode explores some of the most important truths in the People Business: People are the greatest asset and greatest challenge in every organization We don't respond to reality—we respond to our map of reality Every behavior is driven by a belief system Identity shapes beliefs, beliefs shape behavior, and behavior shapes outcomes Mr. Black breaks down key principles from psychology, leadership, and emotional intelligence, including Robert Dilts' Logical Levels of Change, revealing why lasting transformation must begin at the identity level. You'll also discover: Why people often react to narratives more than facts How emotional contagion shapes culture and perception The dangers of attaching unhealthy labels to your identity Why emotional intelligence is becoming one of the most critical leadership skills of our time Joining the conversation is John CEniglia, President of SAT-7, sharing how Christians in Turkey are challenging stereotypes and changing perceptions through authentic conversations, storytelling, and faith-based media. At its core, this episode is about understanding people better: Why they think the way they do. Why they believe what they believe. Why emotions often overpower logic. And why leadership begins with winning the hearts and minds of people. Because every organization is in the people business. Every family is in the people business. Every leader is in the people business. And the better we understand what it means to be human, the better equipped we are to build healthier relationships, stronger cultures, and more meaningful lives. Inspiration. Education. Application.

    Defining Pressure

    What if the pressure you’re experiencing isn’t breaking you? What if it’s building you? On this episode of Like It Matters Radio, Mr. Black tackles one of life’s greatest realities: pressure. Most people spend their lives trying to avoid it. Great leaders learn how to grow through it.  Pressure reveals what comfort conceals. It exposes character.It uncovers belief.It reveals what is truly inside. Through powerful stories, biblical principles, and practical leadership insights, Mr. Black explores why pressure is not punishment—it is preparation. You’ll discover timeless lessons from: The Refiner’s Fire, where impurities are removed and strength is revealed The Teacup Story, where beauty is formed through heat and shaping The transformation from Coal to Diamond, where pressure creates value The Butterfly’s Metamorphosis, where struggle creates the strength to fly The Olive Press, where crushing releases purpose and anointing This episode also explores: The difference between the Comfort Zone, Fear Zone, and Panic Zone Why growth only happens outside your comfort zone How adversity builds resilience, perseverance, character, and hope The connection between thoughts, emotions, forgiveness, and personal well-being Why leaders are forged in difficulty, not convenience At the heart of this message is a simple but powerful truth: The fire was never in the lantern. When titles disappear, plans fail, relationships disappoint, or circumstances change, the question becomes: What remains? Great leaders eventually discover that their identity is not found in what they carry, but in what carries them. Pressure doesn’t reveal your limits. Pressure reveals your potential. Pressure doesn’t define your weakness. Pressure defines who you are becoming. This is an Hour of Power for anyone facing adversity, uncertainty, loss, challenge, or transition—and a reminder that the very thing you wish would go away may be the thing preparing you for your greatest purpose.

    Triangle of a Great Leader

    What makes a great leader? Not talent.Not charisma.Not position. According to Mr. Black, great leaders are built on a triangle—and triangles are the strongest structures in creation. Remove one point and the structure weakens. Keep all three and it can withstand tremendous pressure.  On this episode of Like It Matters Radio, Mr. Black builds on last week’s discussion of the power of triangles and introduces what he calls the Leadership Triangle: OMNI — Living with purpose on purpose SEMPER — Always flexible, always growing HINENI — All in, fully present Together, these three words create a framework for transformational leadership. You’ll discover why words matter more than most people realize, how identity shapes behavior, and why great leaders are intentional about what they think, say, and believe. Drawing from Scripture, neuroscience, epigenetics, and leadership psychology, Mr. Black explores the connection between thoughts, beliefs, and outcomes. This episode also unpacks: Why purpose gives meaning to both success and suffering The leadership principle of Requisite Variety—the most adaptable person has the most influence Why presence is becoming one of the rarest and most valuable leadership skills in today’s distracted world How words can reinforce identity, shape culture, and change lives At its core, this episode is a challenge to become the kind of leader who: Sees purpose in everything Stays flexible in anything Shows up with everything Because leadership isn’t just about what you do. It’s about who you’re becoming. You were created by an OMNITELIC God.Designed to live a SEMPER life.And called to walk with a HINENI heart. This is the Triangle of a Great Leader. Inspiration.

    You Choose Your Triangle

    Every life is built on a triangle. The question is: Which one are you choosing? On this episode of Like It Matters Radio, Mr. Black explores the power of the triangle—the most stable structure in nature and one of the most powerful patterns found throughout Scripture. Three points create strength. Three points create balance. Three points create stability. But not every triangle leads to life.  Mr. Black unpacks two very different triangles that shape the human experience: The first is Aaron Beck’s Cognitive Triad, the psychological architecture of depression: A negative view of self A negative view of the world A negative view of the future When all three align, people can become trapped in a cycle of helplessness and hopelessness. The second is God’s Sovereignty Triangle: Jeremiah 29:11 — God planned it Romans 8:28 — God is working it Ephesians 2:10 — God prepared you for it Together they form a foundation of identity, purpose, and hope. This episode explores how leaders can recognize destructive thinking patterns, avoid becoming like Job’s three misguided friends, and learn how to respond with wisdom, compassion, and truth instead of judgment and shame. Mr. Black also reveals another powerful biblical triangle: Remember → Do Not Fear → Obey Because leaders rise or fall based on what they choose to remember. When we remember the right things, courage follows. When courage follows, obedience becomes possible. And when obedience becomes possible, purpose is fulfilled. This is an Hour of Power about mindset, leadership, identity, and the stories we tell ourselves. Because the enemy wants to control your memory so he can control your fear. But God has a different plan. Remember.Do not fear.Obey. Choose your triangle. Inspiration. Education. Application.When you live your life like it matters… it does.

    What On Earth Are You Doing?

    One day your life will be summarized by a single line. A beginning date.An ending date.And a dash in between. The question is: What are you doing with your dash? On this episode of Like It Matters Radio, Mr. Black delivers a direct challenge about purpose, legacy, leadership, and eternity. Because life is not measured by possessions, titles, or status. It is measured by people. Who are you helping? Who is breathing easier because you lived? Who is stronger because your life intersected with theirs? What are you building that will outlive you? Drawing from Isaiah 61, Luke 4, Viktor Frankl, Stephen Covey, and the book of Job, Mr. Black breaks down the deeper meaning behind being in the People Business. Not using people.Not managing people.Building people. This episode explores the powerful CARE Framework: Cultivate Potential Align Hearts & Purpose Restore Healthy Culture Empower Ownership Because when people feel cared for: commitment rises engagement deepens cultures heal performance improves Mr. Black also examines the three failed comforters in the book of Job: Eliphaz the traditionalist Bildad the legalist Zophar the accuser Together they reveal what happens when leaders choose explanation over compassion, certainty over mercy, and systems over people. This powerful episode also features interviews with four recent graduates of the Leadership Awakening class, sharing firsthand how the experience impacted their mindset, relationships, leadership, faith, and direction in life. Their stories bring the message of transformation out of theory and into real life. This is an emotional, challenging, and deeply personal episode about becoming the kind of leader, parent, mentor, spouse, and friend who leaves behind more than success. A life fully spent.A dash that mattered. Because at the end of life, the question will not simply be: “What did you accomplish?” But rather: “What on earth were you doing?” Inspiration. Education.
